Dasa mula

[theist 1]

 

Madanamohanadas:What about the Dasa mula? If I list them here and invite whoever feels like it to comment or explain with referance from sastra each point, or a few people could give their explanations on the first point and then we could proceed point by point. It could be great fun. Perhaps I should start a new thread for it. See what the moderator decides.

 

atha, now then,

 

1. Divine truths are declared in the Vedas.

 

2. Hari is supreme.

 

3. He is endowed with infinite power.

 

4. He is the repositry of rasa.

 

5. Living entities are his disassociated parts.

 

6. Some are covered by Maya.

 

7. Some are released from Maya.

 

8. All existance is distinct and non-distinct from Hari.

 

9. The means to actualise realisation is bhakti.

 

10. The ultimate fulfilment is intence love for Hari.

 

We can get a lot of pleasure explaining all these points, as lord Krsna says,

Minds fixed in me, lives giv'n to me,

Each praising me to each,

Of me conversing always they,

With joy and peace are filled.
